Trivia Question 22 Answer
The term 'disruptive technology' was introduced in 1997 by Clayton Christianson in the book 'The innovator's dilemma: when new technologies cause great firms to fail.' Such technologies may be easier to use, smaller, or cheaper than prior technology. These typically start with a small footprint as a lower-end product and improve and displace the prior technology over time. The term can apply to several areas of radiology such as CT scanners or now, low field mobile MRI units.
